Its tra- ditions, its ideals, its customs, its students, its faculty, its trustees, matge up a sort of spiritual entity that is as feat a thing as a human personality, and colleges dijer from one another, not so much in size and funds and crass materialism, as they do in the spiritual turn they take and the kind of men and women they make.-WILLIAM ALLEN XVHITE, in The Emporia Cazette. 3 L 4 TOAST TO EMPORIA COLLEGE MARY C. Dixow, '09 Here's to our dear Emporia, I-Iere's to our red and white! Vaunting in victory o'er the foe, Conscious of truth and might. Here's to her sons so brave and true, Here's to her daughters fair, f1ere's to her goal, true worth of soul. Here's lo Emporia! Here's to our alma mater dear, Braves! in every strife, Guiding us onward with wisdom clear, Helping us conquer the life! Here's to the deeds her name inspires, Emblem of truth and right, Fahled in song, and honored long. Here's to Emporia! Here's to her fame enthroned secure, Cherished in every heart, liven the lodestar, known afar, Marked on the lvanderer's chart! Then in the pride of loyalty Cladly n1e'll sing her praise, Noble and strong in battling wrong. Here's to Emporia!

Majestically the gleam of its shining shaft looms up by the side ' ' of the road. Its presence strikes us anew with reflections . it f 4--4 ...L -ar---.-- X 5 ' il. 1 t ,il of responsibility and more serious contemplation of our burdens. The car of time passes ahead in pitiless haste, denying to us the meagre pleasure of pondering for an in- stant the mysteries of change. Yet we will here loosen our tight grip on the reins long enough briefly to observe the region in which we find this milestone-the twenty- seventh in the life of the College of Emporia. The first glance enlivens our hopes. We are in a fairer clime than we have yet known. No paradise, to be sure, but the air seems purer, the rocks less rugged, and the prospect toward the hills more vivid and more inspiring. This milestone is on higher ground than any other has been. The way stretches darkly behind usp there is no gleam ahead which denotes lesser labors, but from this point wec see the hills green afar off. Now for the retrospect. Our rise during this year has not been so meteoric as last. Then we flashed from comparative obscurity into the bright light of a new day, and the suddenness of the change appealed to the most optimistic anticipations within us. But this year the change in the growing brightness has not been so sharply marked, owing to the intensity which already existed. Our hopes of last year have by no means been attained, yet the uplift has been so steady and so productive that we do not hesitate to set it down in glowing terms. The year opened with a greatly increased enrollment. The achievements of last year, coupled with a wide-spread advertising policy, and assisted by a thorough canvass of the state during the summer, brought a host of new students. The enrollment in the freshmen class and in the academy is the largest in the history of the school, while the seniors exceed in numbers any class previously graduated. Changes in the faculty have relieved the teaching force from the severity of its work, and have allowed a wider range of subjects to be handled in the curriculum. The offering of the pre-medical and pre-engineering courses speaks well for the up-to-date policy of the school. An athletic director has been procured, and this marks an improvement in a department where is was long needed. In scholarship there has been advancement. The many distracting interests of the school life last year brought down the general average of the students' grading. But this year faculty and students have worked in greater harmony, and the good results have been shown in the grades. Under this heading, we will mention the fact that this year has made the fourth time in five years that College of Emporia has received highest honors in thought and composition in the state oratorical contest, receiving second place in the only year which broke the perfect record. As actions speak louder than words, so do such achievements prove better than by professions of mouth, the thorough excellence of scholastic training given in this school. it i nl n ,., , l l kv 15 The student body as a whole is not so mature as formerly. An element of young- sters has pervaded the school atmosphere, and the evolution for a more perfect understand- ing of College traditions has been slowly working itself out. Some evidences of croak- ing have appeared which affirm that the vaunted college spirit of the olden days is on the wane. Yet the fears for its loss are empty ones, because no stronger manifestations of true college loyalty have ever been shown than during this year. The wild fur-ious exuberance of the football rooter, as existent in other generations, has been transformed into an enthusiastic effort for a worthy cause. This spirit has appeared among the girls. The girls of the school, numbering less than one hundred, have assumed the gigantic task of raising 325,000 for a girls' dormitory. So vigorously have they pushed the matter that 358000 of the money is in sight. Each girl has pwledged 3525 to be raised by her own efforts. The men on the football flclcr do not have their souls tried by harder knocks than those which the girls receive in their daily solicitations for funds. It takes downright grit to hammer away on a project as the girls have done this winter. The success has been so positive that dormitory is bound to be reatilyiif not this yearithen next. The big coup dietat of the year has been the merging of Lewis Academy, of Vvichita, into the College of Emporia. No stroke of business-like administration has occurred in the history of the school which exceeds this one. The addition of Lewis Academy will mean much to the College in many ways. It will insure a first-class academic department, and will correspondingly strengthen the scholarship of the school. It will serve as a feeder for college classes, and will do away with the unnatural relation- ship of preparatory and college students which now exists. It will center the interest and material assistance of one of the richest portions of the state on the College of Emporia. President Culbertson has found that he cannot attend to the duties of his office, and, at the same time, assume the labors of field secretary of the state, doing justice to both. So, a field secretary has been recently secured. Rev. Matthew Frank, of Kansas City. is the man chosen for the place, and his sole business will be to extend the influence of the school over the state. And so the year has passed. A year full of steady progress and uniform advance- ment. The accomplishments of last year showing up brilliantly against a period of two years without a leader, have been exceeded by a term of slower, more natural growth. The endowment fund has received careful attention and is well under way. Athletics, under the direction of a physical trainer, has been given proper incentive and is improv- ing Two intercollegiate debates have been held, and though both were lost, progress was made by this step toward excellence in higher literary training. The Clee Club has again done efficient work, spreading the worth of the College of Emporia in new places. A mark of distinction arises from the fact that this yearis Senior class will send three men to Yale, besides sending other members to seminaries and other schools of higher learning. Our mild boasting is prompted by the spirit of love. In these days, when the keenest sort of competition exists between schools, it is necessary to be up-to-date in every particu- lar. And we, who have spent some of the happiest hours of youth in the halls of the College of Emporia, who have learned the great affection with which one can bless his alma mater, watch with satisfaction this spirit and evidences of improvement. But claims for merit may arise from other than merely material forms of betterment. For other schools may receive better support, but they cannot assume higher idealsg other institu- tions may have larger equipment, but they cannot create a higher type of manhood or womanhoodg other colleges may bear more important names, but they cannot boast of a fresher, purer spiritithe spirit of Western youth-hopeful, high and wholesome. And so we are proud of past achievements, proud of present station, and proud of the purposes of the future. And now here, at this milestone, with our vision fixed on the happy pros- pect of the greening hilfs in the distance, we are beginning to see the true realization of that for which strong men and women have prayed and sacrificed during all the long, hard years of the past. 16 Henry and Schaff and Felix E.

O weep, ye haughty juniors, though you know Your tears can't wash away the wrongs you've done, And thou, O Hank, selected to bestow On us our sheepskins, we hear your grieving accents, sad and low And this their melancholy burden is: Proudly and game Went the '09-ers. Till posterity forgets in baseness low That class, their glorious deeds, ennobled name Shall add a radiance to its brightest fame. But e'er we leave, this duty on ourselves we must impose That coming ages may not with vain myths our name surround. An interest in our history thus we presuppose, For thrilling passages throughout the tale abound, And truthful records here with comments shall be found. Such is not boasting-honest statements of our deeds4 Though honors to deserving ones must needs redound, For fame cannot be hid when right succeeds And Truth her staunch adherents to high honor always leads. What other class can boast of one whose art A Herr Professor to her feet did bring And had the power, ah! this the greater part, To keep him there until he gave the ring And with it give his heart, his name, yea, everything! But various conquests have been made in Cupid's right. just is his pride, for true his dart doth wing. ls not our Bertha classic model of that fond delight That loves its object though it be far out of sight? In this our Christian College, the ideal ls to love one another. And this creed Has been developed with much zeal By various members of the '09-s with great speed. Peg and Demosthenes in quarreling constancy succeed In being one in heart though of two mindsg And following eagerly with glittering eyes their lead In keen pursuit until, O joy! a prize she finds, Comes Grace-foley as up loveis wounds she binds. A common sight to countryside and town ls Alex, in the family stanhope riding 'round, And, by his side, with hair and eyes of brown Sits Walter Hedlund's sister, all cares drowned. And if, perchance, they pass where stones abound Theyill find Hgeologizingf' so they say- Although their words have not an honest sound- Our 'Catherine and her chaperone with Anna and her Ray, Hceologizingi' there in the broad light of day. 34 y l Song:- From Scranton clear to China From Mccormiclg to K. U. From Long Island to Emporia Youill hear doves bill and coo. ln college and outside of it You'll hear this sweet refrain: Tell me that you love me, dear, Tell me once again. Within our midst, creative genius thrives, A heroine of the chafing dish with yellow crest ls Gertrude who from poor ingredients derives Concoctions that destroy the appetite's calm rest. A traitorous youth by a Normal girl possessed Has strayed far from our proudly select fold. We fear poor Henry's intellect's obsessed Else why to shame us should he be so bold And pour upon our heads disgrace untold? The Clee Club in our school a ranlg has won Next in importance to our hzrsute Dean. When Ellis,s ualtoicu tones along with her have gone, This stuclr-up glee club shall have lost its self conceit serene. From Creenland's icy mountains to an ldaho ravine Where'er there blooms 'neath heaven's blue the verbal laural wreath Where'er the eye of man loolfs 'round upon this sinful scene, The ninety and nine shall feel this challenge flung into their teeth- The marvelous versatility of the wonderful Eula Sleeth. An opera singer grand the '09s own. Smolge did he smell and smelt it he so strong That spectators, writhing, did their fate bemoan And held their ears and noses loud and long. Then came our ianitor's sweet soothing song, And peace perched calmly on the high church spire Our famed duet sang love untouched bu wrong. And in the baclf seats as their tones rose higher Their true loves glowed, warmed by an inward fre. Surpassing far the pianola's oft-told charms We offer to Apollois sacred choir our magic three Whose harmonies out-voice all harsh alarms- Curtis Weiszhaar, mild Lillian and Margery. Our athletic Ed, determined bachelor he, Stands boulder tirm 'gainst dangers felt afarg Nor would he go unguarded, though heart free, To have a loolg at Harper's famed bazaar For in each booth with siren lure gleamed forth a slfirted star. Two editors of College Life increase our fame, Three business managers. noted for their sudden wealth, Here smoldering incense brealfs into a flame- Who else has done that and yet lrept his health? What other class concealed their eats by stealth 35 And had a party on the roof of Stuart Hall? What other class if not this very same Was for four years the champion of baseball And gave a class play that astonished all? Should any doubt the greatness of these great Let this be said to silence their tirade: The numbers of the great in any state Is told by the advancement they have made. Two products of this progress, prim and staid, A zeal to herald women's rights have shown, And so boost progress in each art and trade. Much have they done, each toiling on alone- Mild Belle and fosephine-ambition's own. The satellites that mark the '09s' famous course Through the vaulted hues of literary skies Have dimmed the lustre of opposing force , And left the vanquished to regrets and sighs. Two winers do we hail in the Hood Prize, Three times our orators by test ranked proudly first, And when the Friends debate with fear dazed all men's eyes The ,095 sent three men to slake ambitionis thirst And bring back light when morn her bonds had burst. What other class, O Muse, tell me, I pray, Can boast its Clytemnestra, Aggie, too? Its seer Cassandra, hated in her day, Its Aegisthus bad who did the trouble brew? And to our Mason is not mitch praise due? For when he played his part the audience cried 1-tis battiness is natural, think not you?,' And so in truth the assembly did decide And no one knowing would the decree deride. Unique in one possession is this class, For Barthy stands unrivaled up to date. He pumped the organ, first used natural gas, And taught us how to smile when men berate. A last great pride is ours now to relate: What other class-now answer if you dare- Has had so much attention at free rate From the bronze-topped Cerberus smiling fair That dominates the library from her lair? With generous heart and self-denying hand We gave the last great banquet to the school. So splendid was it, as we well had planned, No other class dared follow the old rule. Clotho has filled with precious thread the '09,s golden And Atropos with hastening steps and clicking shears draws near We go as toilers forth into the morning cool To do the thing that duty makes most clear, A loyal trust within our hearts, all joy, all hope-no fear. 36 sf..

J. I HE Seniors have almost run their little race. Now, while they are carrying few hours and besieging the long-suffering Dean and the head of the pedagogy depart- ment for short write-ups, which will entitle them to positions in schools nearest Emporia- so they will still be under the sheltering wing of the dear alma mater-they are preening themselves, calmly surveying the rabble and wondering what will become of the College when they are gone? They are scanning the Juniors, particularlyg that class which has so often robbed them of their rightful placeg the Juniors, who so soon are to assume dignity due to their position and Senior caps and gowns. Caps and gowns-however different be the color -these Juniors have already found very becoming. They are thinking as they look, who will win the Park debate next year, who will urge the under classmen to join the Oratorical Association and who, they say, can win fourth in the State Oratorical contest and really deserve first? But look at the Juniors! They searcely seem to be conscious of the fact that they must hold up the standard of the school by winning at least as many honors in oratory, debate and on the athletic field as were won by the Seniors this year. They are already making plans for the places they must Fill. Gladys Riggs remarked to a crowd of her friends, Next year I expect to be poet laureate and speak 'Humpty- Dumptyf now that Dicky will be gone. l havenlt had a single chance since I came out here, for she came first and was the favorite of all the teachers when l was a Freshman. Helen Hurley plans to play the organ next year if she decides to come back, for it will help to keep her from getting lonesome, for she seems to fear lest she might lose 'er 'eart at Yale. Margaret said she had almost decided to take vocal lessons so that she could sing in the chapel choir next year. The rest of her time will be spent learning and practicing College yells. A College organization, the Cytherean Quartette, will be broken up this spring and rumor has it that arrangements have been made for a trio to take its place. This trio will be composed of Elsie Jones, soprano, Walter Hedlund, tenor and reader, Edna Pyle, pianist and manager. A schedule has already been made out for a tour to be taken during the vacation. The towns where they will appear are Derby, Halstead, Min- neapolis, Dodge Cily and Girard.. Their first concert will be given at the First Presby- terian church in Emporia for the benefit of the Y. W. house. People have said these Juniors have not appreciated the present Seniors, but here is proof that they hold them in highest esteem and wish to follow in their footsteps. At a class meeting they decided, since C1race's method of learning the text verbatim has proved so successful, that they will adopt her method entirely, and to show their gratitude to set up an image to her in the Senior room of the library. Helen Haynes has decided to give up her music and use the legal tendency of her mind, lately developed in the study of school law, for the defense of criminal cases, such as the libel on one of the coeducational clubs recently formed. When the juniors were Freshmen the other classes were pleased to find so much material for athletics, and they did not disappoint their friends, either, that first year. The next year, after Nicholas dropped out, they became discouraged and several of the boys, including Weyand and Dingee, left school the next year. However, there are some athletes who do the class credit. No class yet can boast of a man like Yeomans, one who has won praise all over the state for his fast, clean playing as end on the school eleven. On the basketball courts he has won equal praise and is rapidly working to the front on the baseball team. When the Prohibition League was organized, Yeomans was made treasurer. Last fall the eleven chose him for their captain for l909. Ed. 40 is quite well versed in the gentler arts. His voice, and guitar often make a pleasing serenade at some lady's window. Another athlete there was whose enthusiasm was his downfall. It is by Ray's swift running that the relay race was won on Normal Field. This fired him with so great a desire to run even better that it proved his own snare. He broke his arm. He then tried gaining honors by other means. He became vice president of the Athletic Association, then by proper moves he got to manage the football team. This was not enough. His desire for prominence was even greater. Now he was track captain, next the treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. Still he was not satisfied. He was made editor of THE ALLAH RAH, then has succeeded in getting the presidency of the Y. M. C. A., the highest honor, so he thinks, there is in school. - There are two boys always associated in Junior happenings, the Ray mentioned before and Ray Everett. Ever since these boys have been old enough to enjoy making calls in the vicinity of the Normal, they have been known as the two Rays. Everett is known on the field for his efficiency at the bat and has lately been made manager of the baseball team. It was he who carried off the Bruner prize in the declamation contest last year, in an extremely close contest. In one line he excels his fellows. This is the art of leading the College yells and songs. H has often been styled the Todd-ling yellmasterf' It has been customary in years past to choose for president of the Oratorical Association a ministerial student or an orator. In choosing Ben Rice for that office the Association has not lost sight of its high standard, for he has never dabbled in oratory, but is a debater of some ability as brought out by the Emporia-Cooper debate, and beside is only the son of a minister. However, since he is the manager of THE ALLAH RAH, William I. feels assured that he can engineer the association with perfect ease. The Juniors' vanity was gratified last fall when Bessie Flath, of Park, hearing so much 'of this class, came to finish her education with them. She early proved herself worthy to be one of them in many ways. Any of the boys who drank two cups of the delicious coffee she made at their first picnic dinner after College opened, will testify heartily in her favor. The curiousity of the girls was greatly aroused when Vivian suddenly decided not to take the Novel Course in English. But if she told the truth on a certain occasion, the girls have satisfied themselves that she has enough to do since she gets her lessons, besides reading the numerous and lengthy reports from a certain post office official and all the other manuscripts sent under separate cover with the Sunflower from Fairmount, There is another girl whose chief interest is not compassed by these College walls. ln spite of that, it was at her home in the country that the Juniors enjoyed her hospitality and also the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with each other and the quiet Alice, whose chief pastime was learning the C-erman translation so that she might bewilder the professor and the class by her rapid How of words. The possibility of a Girls' Dormitory through the efforts of Edna, who is now traveling over the state in this interest. The business-like lVlary, who was president of Y. W. C. A. last year has proved to be her most efficient helper. lVlary's abilities along certain lines have made her hope that she will be chosen to take Queen's place in managing bazaars and entertainments given by the College girls. Gladys Opal, famous for hand- ling three of the male sex simultaneously and with perfect ease, has become preeminent in Y. W. C. A. and is much sought for as a picnic chaperone. ' Among all the other students in this class there is one, famous for her artistic sketches as well, who is far above them in learning. It is Louise, who will be a second Dean Held and who will no doubt begin her career in the Latin department of Lewis Academy. What more could be wished for when Lewis Academy is completed on one side of Stuart Hall, the Girls' Dormitory on the other and the present Juniors at the helm! 41 H i I l l l i ,W , , Wg I 5, :TWH-H S-.Q Z X'E,p-- nk -'- :Si I1 vI'vyFv ,' .w a , fe W yr MH X 1, fx. n X X 1 N ,1 1 : K U X W, V V 1 x I 'Q mr 1 + .

In this, the mldway of our College life, I found me in a white room, alone, Cone from their sight, who would my rations Talge, could I not close concealment find. How last 1 covered them 1 scarce can tell, So savage wild a forest fearful And rough grown did quiclf surround me, That to remember, only, my dismay Renews in'grievousness to boundless pain. Dark came the moon and overcast By vaulted clouds, enforced in awfulness By a height of gloomy cypress, which did whip And moan in specious agony, that A dullness down my senses weighed. When to an upward space with forward step I moved, my ken discerned the form of one Wliose voice seemed faint from long disuse of might When him in that great vacancy deseried, 1-Iave mercy on me, cried I out aloud, Spirit of living man, or whateicr you be. He answered, Not now, man, man once I was, And linown of College students, quick or dull. In class, my life was passed, beneath The rule of Felix, in the time of Hanlfg Aljaybra was my theme, and by this means Contrived I many victims ti fall short. 1, Colpitts am. By other will than mine Sent hither to conduct thee into regions dark. Speak thy desires. .Then I to him in few, Guide, by that will which dost impel thee, I do beseech you that thou my classmates, Into realms where dwell my classmates, That 1 may view them each in his sad plight. So spake 1, and when he had onward moved We entered in a deep and woody way. Through me, you pass into eternal pain, All hope abandon ye who enter here. Such characters 1, in bold relief, Discerned upon an archway grim, Wliereat I thus Teacher, these words impart Hard meaning . .He, as one prepared, replied, . Here thou must all distrust, behind thee leave, For we are come where I have told thee, We shall see the souls to misery doomed. Directly on the weightless air arose Such sigh-ts and clamourings of remorse That I was fain to turn meg when From out an empty distance, came on A troop of spirits so numerous and swift moving That I gazed on in wonderment, overcome by fear. 44 Straightway, 1, to him, Master, what doth Aggrieve them thus, that with downcast Mein, they onward flee9 . .He then, in turn, These they are, who of the world received No note by reason of their deeds. Speak not of them, but look and pass them by. Quick turning at the beck of one who sideward From the train was wafled, my ken discerned The flaxoned top of her, the gushing one. You living spirit from Em'th, she frst to me, 1 do beseech you, pass not through this' vale Of woe, unmindful of one humble Skiles, Doomed ever thus, to roam against her wish. Say for what cause thou sufferestf' l next. For impoliteness to that pedagodue Who weildest ferrude in Parisian lore. Thus would she long have held discourse But had my guide seen fit. who forward Led the way, I after.. . Fife next approached A wood thick filled with undergrowth, From whence arose a host of groans That smote my sense with terror. But, safety feeling in thc presence of my guide 1 vanquished all misgivingsg and at once Appeared direct before us a trio of Such woe-begotten forms, whose memory causes Yet my fram to shudder. Agape Their mouths, with fixed stare That halted our advance, And 1, who straightway looked, beheld the one With pug of hair immense, whose features E'en in that dread place Did bear a likeness to her of former time, Called often Bess in our familiar tongue. That spirit in the midst of either at her side Engaged in a stunt of most peculiar sort ' Was busyg and a stream of suitor spirits Always coming, ever going, with hrs! A face of joy which changed to sudden Sorrow, when from her hand it each Received of ancient cake. a parcel. The one to left of other mates more filled with Self-composure seemed, for in the midst Of suffering rank an air retained she of contentme When all of these I recognized, the last in double Measure by the impart of her salutation, For she in few words, thus, I don't care. These wretched ones went on in darkness, While our forward steps led us to a plain, Reflecting jiercer heat, so that The bushes and all trees Did drop an ooze of blood. In midst Of which we saw a plot of vivid green nt Wherein there thrived a host of four-leaved clovers My teacher thence his path directed, I in rear close came, till our approach Cave sudden fright unto spirit, hovering 45 t I L V i r 5 , Lonely above the green. UThou, my guide, I ventured, Address yon spirit and inquire The cause of such subsistencef' But quiclf to feel the substance of our thought, He of the timid soul did thus confess: Behoud in me, Von Hendriclfs, who while On earth I lived, contented was to pass My Ieasure pluclfing clovers. Eternalty l Therefore must continue thus to toil, Much moved at such gross error, 1 wished a way to talge our course. Now, by a sacred pathway, we proceed Between the walls that hem the region round And the tormented soutsg my master first, I close behind his steps. O, Teacher, I thus began, 'iMay those tormented souls Who lie within these seputchers be seen? Already all the lids are raised and none O'er them keeps watch. He thus in answer spake Here are confined the souls of them that Did not justice to themselves nor friends, Y Repeat my footsteps and see thy lfen be quiclff' thtere rising with fixed jaw, was Mac Haag, Of some renown, nrst as a gardcner, Whose ears. were stopped with that foul clay. Then peering from his side, rose forth A shade leaning, methought, upon its lfnees Eager to explore the region round. Lo! 1 beheld Bracken. Directly turning 1 besought my guide to lead me Hence to regions of some other lgind. Emerging then, we came at once Upon the utmost verge of a high banlf By craggy roclgs environed round, lflfhere woes beneath, more cruel yet, were stowed. Returning sudden in retreat before a blast That with all power bore a train of spirits weeping As a hurricane, a cloud of withered waves, My lfen discerned the tablet of a monument, 1 hold here Katherine of Polly, condemned To smother thus for deed committed in foul anger Wyhen she slew hcr opposing contestant in Dee, Another also: Within my dismal gloom resides And all that remains of one Byerty, who so Defied the pass of time, that far into the morn He with a group of tilge rogues, would barn-dance. Moving yet apace we came upon another: ul, Bill Niclf, conceal, whoever was a spirit bad, And must in silence now, and gloom remainf' And yet upon a scroll to left we read: Ye who notice this may lgnow that . Witl1er'st in my close heat the shade Of I-lumphrey fones, who, while on Earth, Did so persist in collars high and stiff. Next moving with a hastening step, we came upon A pass that led across a great abyss, 46 From which ascending srnote upon our sense The agony and misery dissolved below in boiling pitch And as we gazed, my guide quick drew aback As if to shield me, for straight onward Rushed toward us, from a cavern near A troupe of winged monsters that whole would Devour us. By some slight motion on The turbid surface of the lake, as from Its heat a spirit would uplift itself, Their leader was beguiled and them Backward drew, with forks upraised To quick submerge with added pain Their victims. Descending safely then From our high place, we came by edge Of stream that fed the livid lake of pitch. Direct, a wailing cry fell on our heed: My master, my attention forward drew To a fell spirit kneeling in the ardent stream, By an unspeakable aspect of comfort pervaded. My teacher, then: Approach, if so the will Lays hold thee, and question yonder spectref, -I, next, as directed: O, once lady in such Sad fix, acquaint us with thy history. Behold in me one fitted by deeds to other clime,' But by Fate decreed, have taken here my habitationg And through the endless twilight, I must Boylef, Thus she discoursed, and as we onward moved Nor glance, nor heed gave us at our leave. How next we 'proached a region void Of every shrub and stump I scarce recall. In the midst of which there toiled amid A great downpour of rain, a solitary figure' At stoking a huge fire. Thus spake my guide, O, hapless spirit, why strivest thou ln seeming vain to feed such heat? He, late addressed, gave this in turn: You and that living spirit gaze upon him Who, on Earth reputed, was a good firemang Thus for lack of wings, Curl defies the rain. We onward went up along the rock That upward stretched to other arch That overhangs the foss, wherein were Held the souls of multitudes condemned. While I my eyes were holding toward The wavering throng, my master thus, See yonder group enveloped in a bluish hazcg Discernst thou not the form of Riggs sent hither That he may no longer snakes in Libraries put, none less may swipe Tobacco from his fellows 9 1 had scarce Crasped the full import of his saying, when My ken discerned a spirit fiying wildly .- With speed so swift it passed us, 1 was unaware, Till straight my leader spoke, Goes yonder One on Earth who did disdain the Company of College girls, enamoured 47 YY, V 5 t I V V i L P i E V t i D i l Y t p Quite, of certain ladies at the Normal. Dark Brown by nameg and ever thus He flees, fearing to be outraced for his prize. So saying he turned, and 1 after him. And by a hidden way which olden Brook did make, our way we took from out That fetid and foul smelling atmosphere. We climbed, he first, 1 next, to return To the fair worldg till on our view The beautiful lights of Heaven dawned. Thence issuing, we again beheld the stars. To left of us arose a mount from out A purple sea, whose summit hung Hidden by a host of thunderheads. And at our feet in silence, washed the tide, Till a wave, in strength above his fellows, Wamed of an oncoming crafty Looking, we beheld a bark steered By one with garments of celestial source, Conveying toward our shore, a troupe of spirits, With design, apparent, of admitting us. Quick to perceive was I, the shade . On touching other brink, my leader first, Himself from numerous nickels in exchange For gum. Bound now was he for the Court of Minos Not till my advent, did the bark take draft, Wvhich seeing, sundry spirits went aghast. Of touching other brink, my leader first, Then I toiled with lagging steps against the slope A group of whispering souls encounttering My leader from them drew a trio Of blythe spirits engaged in sober talk. He thus began: We of thy clime once were: Reveal us, therefore, the record of thy faults. They then in turns I, fennie was, Who oft did Huss to wrath provokef, UFor a liberal use of modern slang, I thus Await my doom or joy, for Brooks am I. Then other one with acclamation loud, You peanutli' More than this it would not: But from the voice and manner I Conceived the shade of Mamie jones. Then at the heels of my good teacher 1 followed till we found an opening In the clip' whence came a body Of male spirits, doing pennance for Neglect of work in life, saw we At that distance Nicholas in spirit Fast hurrying ever as from market As was his seldom habit. Next, peering Sharply through an imagined gloom With aid of fllickering candle, a woeful Spirit did pick its way in search of outlet, Whereupon my guide, conceiving thereon My query, did shortly make remarks: That tripping Soul is one within your memory-Morrison. 48 Soon followed in the train one other Of familiar shape, who came reluctantly With others as though of desire To be alone. Armed it was with ever-ready Notebook, and with seriousness gazed about. 1, thus to my teachers: What studious Fellow thus must purge his soul? He presently: Yonder Honiell moves. So moved we downward on other Side till stopped we at a promontory Hard as adamant, on whose summit Perched a spirit of remembered feature, As it played upon moclf trombone. I then Beheld Bowman. Without comment from My leader moved we forward to a plain. Quiclg turning as commotion smote us, My guide my lfen directed to a dangling shade Midway from clip' to bottom, saved by Croce. Soon as resumed our gait, my leader First, then I came near a curious Sight. A nimble spirit busied was Upon the dermis of an elephant, Cutting clean all bristles. Not even Resting as I questioned: 'iWho, thou, And why at such peculiar labor t0ilst?', He then: 1 was a Soph, while living. Lawrence by birth. Worlf I thus to purge My soul from cutting Latin. Much meditating on the fruits of that Sin favorite to me, I followed silently My master. Came we next upon A little soul of auburn top Equipped with lfodalf, and e'er my guide Could baclfward draw, had snapped Its rriechanism at us, with laugh lllore cheery than aught else in Limbo. Shortly as before a gateway paused my leader Intent upon its character, there rose Before our sight the shade of Lewis, That thought toll from us to eollectg Scan as my guide his will declared, Down fell the pallid cheelfs dismayed. On passing through the entrance we came Upon a g'rassy plot of pleasantness. lVhere a spirit lonely was reclining, And from its lips fell accents French, As one confessing some great error, Without leave, it thus addressed us: I, La Louette was once, and oft Did behold yon living soul. Take Never French, lest in thine anger, thou As 1, at thy preceptor mightst swearfi Now did my guide impatience show To Earth again to come, and willingly 1 followed his returning steps by other way. Directly came within our sight 4b 4 4 i I J l t i l 1 . T3 t t P N i 1 i E V r i l 1 1 V. Two shafts of marble whiteness reared Upon a prominence.

By memory informed I lfnew two were We had not met: nor could in these fell Regions, ever of virtue proud were they And able, nor prone to common faults For which my fellows all were bound, Pondering there I came on with my guide, And then read he from of both scrolls: Ascendest here to regions holy, Burnham, And further, to next monument: Marl5 I the spot where last was seen Light Brown My mission ended, dim grew the landscape, All sounds unearthly ceased: where was My guide now marlfed 1 the door Of room late enteredg such signs Discovering, quiclf did 1 return to former taslf.

V. ffl Iranslalion wnllen, nal concerning Gaul but wilfi a good deal of il, will! no ofense fo Caesarl LL the College is divided into four parts. One part is the Seniors, another the Juniors, yet another the Sophomores, and the fourth the Freshmen. All differ among themselves in table manners, grammar and dress. Now, of all these classes the members of the Freshman are the fiercest, for they have been the farthest removed from studies and culture of humanityg nor has Mother Wit had much of a chance to penetrate to them. But they have never indulged in any of those ways that tend to weaken the minds of men. Among the tribes of the College, the sophomores, who stand next to the Freshmen, but are much inferior as regards intelligence, also, who are very strong allies of the Preps, hold the Freshmen the most warlike. For formerly they carried on a Hag-scrap against the Freshies. The Freshmen, having put up a flag, the Sophs. thought themselves able to take it down. Accordingly, they betook themselves by night to the campus, just beyond Caesar's Bridge, where they thought the Hag would be placed, thinking the early birds would get the worm. About the third watch of the night, Gregg Evans, a Freshman, very brave and worthy, thinking it pleasing to go in search of plunder among the herds of the College pasture, sallied forth, but was reported to have been captured by the Sophs, with great loss. Motrning having come, an attack was made upon the flag, but according to custom, the Freshmen, stronger in arms and greater in valor, overcame with great havoc. The Sophomores fled in confused terror. The Preps, who dwell on the other side of the Freshmen, also are far inferior to them in culture and knowledge, also, indeed, they regard the Freshmen strong and with much virtue, because many times have they tried, together with their followers, the Sophomores, to plunder the goods of the Freshmen at their festal ternplesg but each time have they been repulsed. The tribe nearest to the Freshmen in friendship are the juniors, who are more bit- ter in respect to civilization than any of the others inhabiting this side l-looker's barn. Farthest removed from the Freshmen are the seniors, a tribe living on the borders of College, who wear strange clothes and have curious manners. Many times have Freshmen celebrated win festal gatherings: nor has the faculty doubted but that if it had not been so there would have been many recitations pre- pared better. Therefore, they have sent legates to the Preps, who were to inquire how this thing might be stopped. To these the Preps. said for Carr to call them down in chapel, the only means of cure. Hutchinson and Sawhill were by far the longest in head and wind among the Freshmen. These, induced by a desire for Sophomore scalps, persuaded their clan that they should go out with all their dope and skin the Sophs. in debate. This to be very easy, since the freshmen had among them Howard, who did excel all in debate, having been the founder of the College Debating Club. Accordingly, upon the very next cold, rainy night these ambitious ones betook themselves to Austin chapel and stationed them- selves behind a large table to await the enemy's attack. This having been made, the victory was for the Freshmen, the enemv having lost three decisions. Those illustrious among the Freshmen are: For beauty, Floyd lVlcCallg for dig- nity, Foncannong for speed when pursued by the enemv. Gregg Evans: for angelic fea- tures, Bradley-in fact he wrestled the other night with iacob fweidrichjg for nu- merousness of brothers, Ruth Bradbury: for vocal ability, George Adams: for big feet, Nellie Mccormickg for beauty of hair, Joe Baird fmade beautiful by Phil l..u- cas, price, fifteen centsjg for building material.

I HE Prep is a queer sort of Hthingf' Local scientists have not been able as yet to classify us satisfactorily, and until a more worthy exponent of Darwin appears on the field, the world may not rope to learn his origin, habitat, and usefulness. We try to be unassuming and quiet, although Professor Schaflner, in looking up our fam'ly tree, says it is most all ubarkf, Now the Prep, generally speaking, as he generally is, is really the most important class in school, after allg that is, after all the other classes have left! But what would the senior do if he didn't have the Prep to ascribe some of his kiddish tricks to? It is from the prep that he gets his most unfeigned homage. His extreme intellectuality and maturity is made more perfect by contrast with us. The ripening Junior seeks our favor, and lives in joy thinking that perhaps when he is a Senior, he will be the Ideal of one of our number, and indeed we often do try to be like hte-Haintf' Even the hum- ble Freshman can take courage, and from his exalted position on the north side of Chapel, look down on us and thank his lucky stars that he is not even as these Preps are. And lastly, we often save the day for a member of the faculty who is fortunate enough to have a Prep class, for how refreshing it must be to them, after straining their mentality on sev- eral classes of upper classmen, to come to a Prep recitation and with much noise and big words, induce the trusting, unsophisticated, Prep to believe that his store of general knowledge is inexhaustable. In keeping with the time-honored custom, we have an Everett in our departmentg and he is as handsome as the rest of the family. Upon being interviewed, he said that he, like his predecessors, was ambitious to become the College yell master and tlhen a Senior. ul-lavisn is the last of a long line coming from the l-louse of Everett.. The Bigger family is another standby of our department. We have two of them, Little Bigger and Big Bigger. Big Bigger is a little bigger than Little Bigger. Big Big- ger is a lover of nature, and his fine sentiment and deep thought is exemplified in this little verse ascribed to him: Q! Mister Chigger, if you were bigger, lld get a revolver and pull the trigger and shoot your diggerln We have many bright students of whom Sword probably is the sharpest Our musical talent is unlimitedg we have pianists. vocalists, and two Pipers. Vlfe have a skinny poet that writes dope that makes Walt Mason's atrocities look sick. Indeed, they are enough to make anybody or anything look sick. He wrote one song that had to be taken to a lard factory to be rendered! We have such illustrious names as Polk, Cannon and Holmes. Polk says he is James K. Polk's daughter's uncle's cousin's aunt's father's nephew's son. We naturally feel very proud of this fact, and some Freshmen are not a little jealous. The only thing that we have against George is that he wears his hair cut pompadour, but as there is one Fresh- man who is guilty of the same offense, we do not feel as bad as we would otherwise. Cannon is afraid to claim any relationship to Uncle ,loe,,' for fear of causing too much hard feeling, and thereby spoiling his chances in College. Holmes is not a poet, but he owns an automobile, and that is almost as good. Since Van got his auto he has been on the tooth most of the time. Most any boy would envy the nicknames some of our men have. For what is more beautiful than Beany, or more edifying than URusty? Dukey is a name of distinction only rivaled by l'lavis. The only reason We have for complaint on the Cnirl Question is that there are so few of them. But we can say this for the girls, that they make up in Quality what they lack in quantity, and some of them have quantity, too. We have only about ten in our department, but that makes ten good reasons why we boys like to come to school. But seriously, the Preparatory Department is a living factor of this school. In every department of the College activities to which we are eligible, you will find the Preparatory Department well represented. In athletics 60 but the whole College and town as well. A new thirty thousand dollar building will be added to our beautiful campus, and the townspeople will have more reason to be proud of the College of Emporia. In our new building, with the latest equipments and most modern improvements, our enrollment will bf doubled, and the Preparatory Department of the College of Emporia, already second to none in Kansas, will be the best in the W'est! H - 4 Again is the Prep favored by the action of the synod that brings Lewis Academy to the College of Emporia. Not only does our department profit by this good fortune 701: the school, the Preparatory Department has offered its full quota of men who give their time and best effort to the interests of athletics in the College. ln years past some of the best track men and most able ball players have borne the title, Prep. This year we gave the first football team three of its strongest men, and the way Old Jake Weidrich tore 'em up promises great things for next year. ln tennis we offer the first team was beaten in singles by a man from our department. This year we offer the hrst team a pitcher and a fielder, who play right along with anyone on the team. Our men are among the most faithful workers on the track team. The Biggers give promise of doing as much for C. of E. as their big brother Johnnie did in the good old days. In the literary societies, the Prep matches his mentality with that of the College man with flattering results. He debates with him, plays with him and sings with him, with the double benefit to all, that the Prep standard has been raised by contact with the College men, and they have profited by having to work harder in order to maintain their superiority. , r 1 W Jj fm 61 YOUNG MEN'5 CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION RAY BRADEN . , .

Christian Associations are a potent factor in developing strong Christian character in the student's life. We believe that no person can develop religiously any more than physically or mentally without training and experience. The first thing the associations stand for is fellowship. They are the nucleus of the social life of the institution. The stag social of the boys, and the girls' hen party leave indelible impressions upon the minds of all. A committee from both associa- tions meet each train at the opening of the school year to welcome the new students and escort them to suitable rooms and boarding places, and make the new students feel, from the time they step on the platform, that they compose a part of College circles. A unique and instructive course of Bible study is conducted by both associations. Studies in the Life of Christ and in the Epistles have proved to be the most popular' courses offered. These classes are always small in number and are led by one of the older students. They are not only a source of spiritual development and power, but they are the means of forming the closest friendships which last, not only during college days, but through life. A system of mission study is also carried on jointly by the two associations. These classes afford opportunity for a broadened knowledge of not only the progress of the missionary work, but have a sociological and economic signifi- cance as well. I I l f A student's hand-book is published annually by the associations for free distribution among the students. This is a valuable guide to new students and can be used by all as a reference book for all College activities. Our meetings are held weekly during an hour at school, this year this time being the third hour of every Thursday. They are attended by all the prominent boys and girls in school and tend to create an ideal relationship among the students. These meetings are conducted for the most part by college students, although whenever obtain- able we have instructive talks from the 'business and professional men of the town and frequently men come from some distance for this purpose. The girls have this year started a zealous campaign for the purpose of securing funds for a girls' dormitory, which is to be erected upon the campus. The building is to be strictly modern and up-to-date in every particular and will cost not less, than twenty- five thousand dollars. One-third of this sum has already been pledged. . The Christian Associations are supported by the students and are by far the most beneficial to the students of any of the student organizations. They stand for high ideals in the studentis life and help him to overcome all hardships and discouragements. 66 THE LITERARY SOCIETIES E HE literary societies in the College play as important a part in the life of the student as do any of the so-called student organizations. As yet we are not fortunate enough to have a chair of oratory and elocution in our regular college curriculum, and consequently the literary societies are the only means by which the student may develop along these lines of his education. There are four societies in school. The Mathonian and Philologic for men, and the Aftermath and Alethean for women. In each of these societies regular weekly meetings are held outside school hours, at which beneficial and instructive programs are rendered. These programs have a broadening influence upon all the members, as they are arranged with the idea in view of developing the weaker characteristics of each individual. The girls, perhaps, devote more time to musical numbers, recitative and essay work, while the greater part of the boys' programs is composed of debating and extemporaneous speaking. These societies are the means by which all phases of the Oratorical Association are able to be conducted. By means of society contests, contestants are sent from each society to participate in the local contests. These contests are the source of genuine and wholesome rivalry and are perhaps the greatest stimulus to literary activities. There are two nicely furnished halls, which are distinctively student property, in which these societies hold their meeting, the Mathonian hall, for that society and its affiliated sister, the Aftermath: while the Philologic and Alethean societies meet in Philologic hall. Each hall is provided with a piano and other facilities which are necessary for the literary work. The social events of these societies are also of importance in college circles. Throughout the entire year the monotonv of study and daily routine is broken by various social functions which are enjoyed by all and fill each one with new animation, Usually each society holds an open meeting sometime during the school year. These meetings are always well attended and serve to create a general growth of interest in society work. There is a series of athletic contests between the two boys' societies which is per- lvaps the most exciting and enthusiastic of its kind in the school. ln the past year the Nlathonians have won the football and baseball victories, while the Philologics have won in basketball and track. Tennis remains to be contested. There is a strong society spirit manifested, but it is as near the ideal spirit as could be displayed. Each student is loyal to his society, yet he cloes not let this spirit enter into other phases of college life where no distinction of this sort ought to be recognized. In the fall all the old society members are busy in securing new members. It is true they show a warm spirit of hospitality, yet it is not feigned, for these differences of opinion all vanish when the proper time comes for the rushing to cease. they do heartily recommend and urge every student to do so. No person who neglects The faculty does not compel any student to be a member of a literary society, but his society workin school can develop into as strong and effectual a student as he could had he participated in literary work. The ideal student is the one who can become a real part of every student organization. 67 THE AFTERMATH SOCIETY CLASS ROLL VIVIAN PERKINS, Julia Ashbrook Katherine Ashbrook Ethel Brooks Ruth Bradbury Beulah Covert Jennie Cannady Jennie Douglass Nellie Poshay Margaret Forde Grace Gardner Mary Grigsby Lilla Grigsby jane Hughes Alice Hughes Vivian Heclluncl l1.thel Hoover Queen Harper Helen Hurley Helen Haynes President Margery Haynes Mamie Jones l1.lsie Jones Lucina Jones Sarah ,Jones Bertha Lockwood Catherine Meeker Mary McCall lVlary lVlcCown Edith Nation hldna Pyle Elizabeth Potter Vivian Perkins Gladys Riggs Lillian Rich Lulu Ridenour Beatrice Richards l:.thel Stone Mabel Thomas Julia Thorpe , COLORS-Cold and Blue N Luwifq ww..

In former days there was a chorus in connection with the College, composed of the best singers, who furnished music at various entertainments and twice a year gave a concert which was always sure to be pleasing. On one occasion, The Rose Maiden was given, and at another time two performances of The Ameerf' a musical comedy. which was a great success in every way. This chorus, which was founded in the fall of 1901, was known as the Hesperids. When our new president came to us in the fall of l907, with his many new ideas for the building up of the institution, he proposed, among other things, that the trained voices and those best adapted to different phases of concert work, be selected for the organization of a Glee Club, which would be an important advertising medium. Under the directorship of Mrs. S. F. Cravens the Glee Club, numbering twenty- six members, has made two successful trips each year, one during the Christmas holidays, and the other during the spring vacation at Easter. Each trip usually includes five or six dates, and during that time the concert was given to audiences numbering anywhere between fifteen hundred and three thousand people. An extra trip was made last spring to Kansas City to sing before the General Assembly, which met in Convention Hall, and at this time fully ten thousand people heard the Cilee Club give selections from The Prodical Sonf, and from The Holy Cityf' This meant bringing the College of Emporia before the public eye, not only in Kansas, but before people from all over the world. The Crlee Club has given concerts in many of the leading towns of the state, such as Chanute, Humboldt, Girard, Garnett, Minneapolis, Topeka, Manhattan, Concordia, Columbus, Iola, Pratt and Hutchinson, and in all of the towns most Hattering comment has been made concerning not only the ability of the singers, the high quality of music, the charming personality of the director and her perfect control over the chorus, the ability of Dean Held as business manager, which, by the way, was truly remarkable in that he found time to attend to suit cases and buy tickets, and still have plenty of time to devote to numberfsl of the club, but also of the good behavior of the members. When a greater part of the day had to be spent in traveling, the chorus would get together in one end of the car and sing college songs with such a vim that every man in the car would show his appreciation in a most gratifying way and some would even lose themselves so entirely that if they did remember to get off at the proper station, the porter, with help from some members of the club, would have to call out, Don't forget your packages. These train concerts probably did as much to advertise the college as any special date could have done. This last year, however, our train con- certs were not so good as usual for we missed the competitive concerts of the Eolian Quartet at one end of the car and Rice Brown with a French harp, and Hubert Small with his flute, at the other. A few sentences caught in passing will best give the senti- ment of the members: Well, I think he's a tight wad. Who has my suit-case? O, you have it, have you?,' Let me help you carry some of these things. Then. as they walk along together, I'll bet you're as far out on one side of the town as I am on the other, but I'll try to get over on time. Who dated hier last n'igfht?', So-in-so seems to be cutting him out. We went down to the cafe afterward. HI guess they've had a fuss, she stung him horribly just nowxi' HI have a compliment for the managerg the lady with whom I stayed said she thought he must be the h-H 76 but just then we were hustled off at the city of Coats, where autos were waiting to drive us eight miles to Pratt. A better program than the one given last year would be hard to select. For the first number the members of the club appeared in caps and gowns and sang, We are the Jolly Gay Students, which was followed by a piano solo, Valse Caprise, by Moskowski, by Miss Nicholas. In the second part, the male chorus appeared in Seein' Things at Night, assisted by Mr. Wilson, as Buster Brown, in a pantomime, and a selection by the young ladies, dressed as Dolly Varden girls. The old-fashioned dresses and Janice Meridith curls pleased the audiences, and the chorus and round which they sang always called for an encore. The program this year was better, perhaps, than last year because it was more varied. The most fastidious taste could have been satisfied. The opening number was uUnfold, Ye Portals, from Gounod's Redemption, one of the heaviest num- bers ever attempted by the Club. Other special features of the program are as follows: A selection by the Cytherean quartet, composed of Flora I-lege, Gladys Riggs, Edith Nation and Axline Fay: the new C. of E. song, composed by Dr. Maxwell and F. X. Arensg a dialogue given by Axline Fay and Orville Wilson, a duet by Flora Hege and Arthur Sawhillg a male quartet number by Blaine Adams, Edward Yeomans, Clayton Patterson, and Roy Masters, and the concluding number, an opera by George Ade, given by Axline Fay, reader: Mrs. Tylerf' Gladys Riggs: Mr. Tyler, Alex Culbertsong and Janitor, Arthur Sawhill. Dean Held had planned a treat for the members of the Glee Club in the spring of I908 by arranging that the crowd should drive from Minneapolis to Salina in autos and go from there to Lindsborg to attend the Messiah festivities, but that region of the country had the first rain in seven months on the night before and the trip was necessarily postponed. In consequence, the trip for the spring of i909 was planned with Lindsborg as a final date in view. So, on Easter Sunday, the members of the Glee Club' heard the two oratorios, The Elijah, and The Messiah, each of which is a musical masterpiece, given under the direction of Professor Thorstenberg, who occupies an important place in the musical world. The hospitality which the people of Lindsborg extended to our students deserves special mention and we hope to return their courtesy at some future time. The trips have meant some hard work and some unpleasantness in the way of mak- ing hve o'clock trains in the morning and hard traveling during the day, but all of this is forgotten in the remembrance of the good times, the 'icasesi' started and the good we know has been gained in advertising old C. of E. We hope the souls of prospective students around through this state have been so aroused that they will not only come to C. of E. but bring their first and second soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices with them to make up in part-for they could not fully-the loss of the members of this year's class from the Emporia College Glee Club. t 1 l 9 W 7 77 THE COLLEGE GLEE CLUB MRS.

For the first time in the history of the institution we have had a man to devote a part of his time to coaching our athletic teams. At the beginning of the football season there were only two or three men who had previously been members of the team who were then trying for positions. This meant that Coach Carr had to make two football teams, a first and a second, with practically new material of which he himself knew absolutely nothing until experience in a game or two revealed to him that some of the men who were on the team had real ability as football players, while others were merely holding the positions because no one else was competing for them. Football in one sense, that of scoring points against our opponents, was not a successg but in a broader sense of devel- oping men for the future and keeping the game itself from disappearing from College annals, was a success. On Thanksgiving Day we had thirty men suited for the game, the second team winning from the Burlingame High School in a well-fought contest. Most of this number are new men in the game and we have every reason to be hopeful for a strong team next year. Our team did effective work in most games this year and the chief reason for them not winning laurels for their school was not that they were outclassed in the science of the game, but that they were outclassed in weight and physical endurance, as the team averaged only one hundred and fifty pounds to the man. Last season's basketball team was the first the institution has ever produced. It necessarily was composed of comparatively new men, who had experienced a few of the rudiments of the game in high schoolsg but anyone acquainted with athletics knows that there is a marked degree of efficiency found in college athletics that can be attained by high school players only by coaching and consistent training. All our basketball men will be in school next year and we will have a winning team. Track athletics this spring is somewhat weakened by the loss of our only weight man and broad jumper, yet we have some excellent material which by training and experience, will become stars in these events. Our strong phase of track athletics is in the running events and hurdles. We have the best hurdler in the state and our records in all the races compare favorably with other schools of our class. Our cross-country and class relay races were more enthusiastically contested than ever before. We won in the quadrangular meet against Southwestern, Fairmount and Friends. Baseball this year is somewhat weakened on account of not having a first-class battery. We have several men in school who are good throwers, but have never prac- ticed sufficiently to instill enough confidence in themselves to pitch a winning gam-e. However, we are playing baseball and by no means are we going to allow the choicest of American games to become a thing of the past in our school. Class and society games have been fiercely contested, and we also have a light intercollegiate schedule. Base- ball is Coach Carr's speciality and we know that another year will find us the proud heralclers of a victorious team. The Athletic Association has been more heartily supported by the students during the past year than for many years previously. Professor 'Carr has persistently worked during his spare time at improving the gymnasium and has succeeded in getting it amply lighted as well as fixing up a systematic set of lockers in the locker room. He has also originated a system of physical measurements for every man taking athletics, which creates interest among the boys to know how they are developing or deteriorating physio- ally. Our athletic department has been a decided success this year. . rs ' z e n All L. w4tl9iEQ.f fwid s -4- . ' Q Z -sa. 'QL Q' rr 86 If EWIS MCCORVMICK, College star in track AJ work, is from Yates Center. l-le entered College in l904 and his graduation was delayed by an unavoidable absence of a half year at home. McCormick is an athlete from the word go. l-le has been in track athletics and baseball since he has been able to walk. ln High School, he could show up the best on the playground in athletic sports. One day the older boys of the l-ligh School had been pole vaulting and had gone their height. McCormick took the pole and cleared easily their best jump. He is one of the best all- round athletes in the state. l-le is built for the track, with no superfluous flesh to cumber. Stand- ing still, Mac looks awkward, but once started on the track his gait and appearance are graceful. l-le is essentially a runner, although also a good jumper and vaulter. He holds the College rec- ord in the hundred yard dash, lowering William Culbertson's record of ten and three-fifths seconds to ten and two-fifths seconds. McCormick took the high hurdles record from john Bigger, making seventeen seconds flat last year. This year he took the College record in pole vault, making ten feet one inch. In the state meet last year he defeated Hargis, of the Normal, holder of the state record in high hurdles, although the time did not aproach the state record. ln the society meet this year he took seven first places and one second, a performance second to none in the history of College track work. In the recent meet in Wich- , ita between Fairmount, Friends, Southwestern 1 'and the College of Emporia, he took first in the hundred yard dash, first in both hurdle events, first in the broad jump, first in the pole vault and second in the high jump. l-le ran in the relay race which the Emporia team won in the fast time of three minutes forty-two seconds. a little over fifty-five seconds per man. ln other years McCormick has never failed to win points. In the Normal meet a few years ago, before that admirable institution quit having track and field meets with the College, McCormick took eighteen points at a time when the College and Normal were both stronger than at present. At Lake Geneva, a few years ago, McCormick won points for Kansas in the meet held at the con- ference. In the state meet held here May l8, McCormick won seventeen points which ties the best individual performance thus far in the history of the state association. He took first place in the high hurdles, lowering his own and the College record to six- teen and four-fifth seconds. l-le took first in the broad jump, breaking the association record at twenty-one feet eight inches. l-le tied a K. S. A. C. man for first place in the high jump, at five feet six and three-quarters inches, lowering the College record held by john Bigger. l-le received second place in the low hurdles, giving him sev- enteen points out of a possible twenty. 87 47. 7., ,.

One Dollar if paid after November OLLEC-E LIFE is a students' newspaper, published weekly by the students of the College of Emporia. The contents of the publication are of a nature that is pleasing and entertaining, as well as instructive, to college students. Various phases of school life are discussed in the editorials, showing the relation of the students to each other and the relation that should exist between the student and the institution. The locals are always sought for and diligently perused by all. The management carries on a heavy exchange with similar publications, not only from the other colleges in the state but from many of the first-class high schools that are progressive enough to publish a paper, and also a large number of exchanges are received from schools out- side the state. These publications are placed upon a table in the library where the students may have access to them. This gives us an excellent opportunity to keep ourselves informed of the happenings of importance in other schools. The management of the paper is under the supervision of a faculty committee which chooses both the editor and business manager, and also has the power to decide about any questions that may arise in connection with the paper. The editor chooses his own staff, outside of the business manager. The stall consists of an editor-in-chief, an associate editor, a local editor, a reportorial staff and a business manager. Conditions have been stipulated whereby any student who is deemed eflicient by the committee and who shall have contributed enough material during the previous school year to entitle him to sixteen College Life credits, is eligible to hold a position on the staff. A The finances of the paper are met by the regular subscription fee and by the adver- tisements of the merchants and business men of Emporia. This year the paper has been successfully edited by Marcus Lehman, with Wil- liam I. Jones as associate editor, and has been especially well managed by Jesse E.. Bartholomew. These men are all members of this year's senior class, and their excep- tional ability along this phase of College activities will be greatly missed. Under their management College Life shed its former cover, the design of which usually become a wornout sight before the year was over, and comes out now with the appear- ance of a lively little newspaper. College Life is one of the necessities in the College of Emporia that we could not well do without. 101 THE CRATORICAL ASSOCIATION JIT has been truly said that the man is poorly educated who is unable to make a credible speech in public. In accordance with this truth many colleges have estab- lished chairs of oratory and public speaking, and these schools are indeed fortunate in so doing. The College of Emporia has not thus far in her history been so fortunate, although the need has been felt and the probability is that some time in the near future such a chair will be founded in our own alma mater. But what we lack in this way we try to make up through student organizations. The students are trained in some one of the four literary societies, to one of which every student with any aspiration of making his mark in the world belongs. They then have an opportunity of trying their skill in the different prize local contests and intercollegiate contests held under the auspices of the Oratorical Association. These contests are in oratory, debate, and declamation. At present, every contest along any one of these lines, except the Hood prize debate, is incorporated in the Oratorical Association, and the probabilty is that it soon will be. It is the duty of every student in school to be- long to and to support this organization, and a great many of them do take advantage of the opportunities which it affords. There are three intercollegiate contests every year to which our Oratorical Asso- ciation sends its representatives. Rolla A. Clymer, '09, of the Philologic society, rep- resented us this year, and also last year, in the state oratorical contest. He made a very creditable appearance in both instances and almost everyone who heard him will agree that he deserved a much higher place tfan he received, and the students of C. of E.. are proud of him. Lester Vernon and Ben Rice represented us in a debate with Cooper College, on the question: Resolved, That the United States government should subsidize its foreign merchant marine. ,Iohn Spencer, Ray Miller and Van Berger were our representatives in debate with Park College on the question: UResofved, That a system of postal savings banks should be established in the United States. The C. of E. teams had the affirmative of both questions, and inasmuch as the schools with which we contested were both strong in this kind of work, we are not ashamed of the fact that we lost. They were both closely contested, though, and the opposing teams did not have a walk-away. Ol' the local contests, the Kenyon oratorical contest is perhaps the first in im- portance. The prizes of SIS, S10 and 255 are given by Mr. I. S. Kenyon, of Em- poria. This year the contest was won by Rolla A. Clymer, '09, Philologicg second place going to William I. Jones, '09, IVIathonian, and third place to I..eo F. Bracken, 'I I, Philologic. The second of the local contests under the auspices of this association is the Bruner declamation contest.. The prizes of SIU and S5 are given by Capt. E.. P. Bruner, of Emporia. The contest this year was won by Oliver T. Atherton, '12, Mathoniang Mamie Jones, ,I I, Aftermath, receiving second prize. Through the kind- ness of Mr. D. D. Williams, of Emporia, a handsome medal is awarded to the win- ner of a contest in oratory among members of the Freshman class. ,Ioseph Baird, 'I2, Mathonian, was the winner this year. The Eckdall Sr McCarty bookstore has offered a prize consisting of books to the winners in declamation in the Academy. Last year Mary Howard. 'I3, Alethean, won this prize, the Bruner declamation con- test being open only to students under the ,Iunior year. Mrs. R. S. Chase, of the Western Musical Conservatory, of Emporia, has been kind enough to offer a prize of SIO to the winner in declamation from the Junior classes. The Oratorical Association furnishes a part of college life which no student can afford to miss. He may, through this institution, put that finish to his education which can be gained in no other way than through public speaking. Even when the time comes that we shall have a chair in our College which shall devote its entire time to public speaking, the Oratorical Association will still be necessary to add interest and spirit to the work through its contests. 102 THE FLAG SCRAP wi-XE Freshman-Sophomore annual flag scrap is one of those secret affairs which everyone knows about long before it occurs. Of course the upper classmen and Preps make mistakes and have the report out that it will occur a few days before or after the real event, but w'hen it does come no one has been foolish enough to pre- pare lessons for that day. The Freshman boys get so excited that they sit up the night before waiting for morning, and, incidentally, they grease, decorate with a beautifulf?J flag, and set up their pole. Then they build a fire if it is chilly and gather around in true Indian fashion to see which one can tell the biggest tale. The boys who have come up from the Preparatory department tell how in former years they have seen bones broken, muscles strained and boys nearly killed. They tell such tales for the bene- fit of any green, timid boy who begins, perhaps, to feel that his father wouldn't like to have him fight. At the first signs of morning, when a dark form is seen lurking around the library, the courage and fighting blood returns and even the most cowardly longs to show his class loyalty. Then the Freshmen girls appear with steaming coffee and sandwiches. The sight of refreshments is too much for the watching Sophomores, so they make a center rush to down their adversaries before they can receive the food and encouragement from the girls. Of course the girls are horror-stricken to see their classmen treated so cruelly and instantly condemn the Sophomore boys as being the meanest boys they ever saw. If the Freshmen win in the first down, a truce is usually made to last till eight o'clock, so that both sides may enjoy the eatin's which the girls have brought. lhe Sophomore girls appear about seven-thirty with a hastily prepared lunch which they collected after they heard for sure that the scrap was on. By eight o'clock every fond, admiring parent, who is not otherwise engaged, every little boy and girl in the neighborhood, together with all the college students and faculty, have gathered at the scene of combat to see the second rush. Both Freshman and Sophomore girls have been busy pinning or tying their class colors on all their sympathizers, or anyone else who will permit, so that the scene is now very bright, with the gay streamers on the assembled multitudes. The boys of the two classes line up, and the Freshmen, with a few extras around the pole, place their main body ready to receive the blow of the oncoming Sophomores. At this point someone has his kodak ready to immortalize the scene by taking a picture of it. Then the great rush comes: but ,the result is always the same, for what the Freshmen lack in skill they more than make up in numbers, and the Sophs are soon on the under side of a Freshman. Occasionally there will be a sharp struggle here or there, as some ambitious Sophomore tries to better his condition, but one of the extra Freshmen will always be on hand if the struggle looks too favorable to the Soph. The fighting lasts, off and on fmore off than onj, till noon, when the victors take their Hag amid the shouts of sympathizers and groans of adversaries and march proudly homeward to deposit their dirty cloth, called a flag, in some safe place till the girls give them a party. At the victors' party the Hag makes its last public appearance, for after this it is either stolen or sinks into everlasting oblivion. 103 THE FLAC SCRAP THE SPELL-BIN DER GUY MARPLE Down where the buttercup kisses the grass, And the bluelnird is singing his lay, Where the winds chant of love and of joy as they pass In the blue-golden tint of the day, The dearest of nooks in a quiet, green spot, ls hidden away near a hroolfg And curious eyes might discern, were it not That a spell turns aside every loolf. A fairy is there like a bold huccaneer, And he steals sense and thought quite awayg ' And pierces them through with his sharp little spear 'Till they're lifeless and dead, so they say. A bright, little fairy, a chemist is he, ,More wise than the wisest of meng He mixes queer things with the wielfedest glee, From heath and from dark, quaggy fen. He mingles men,s sighs and men's curses full strong He adds of lost hours not a fewg He sifts in some follies and laughs, loud and long, And stirs in a smile with the brew. This wood is quite near to a broad, traveled lane, Where the races of men going by, Are jostling each other in joy and in pain, As they sing, and anon as they sigh. The fairy lgeeps watch o'er the fumbling throng, As they pass in their blustering way, And sells them his mixture with laugh and with song, And he draws to himself whom he may. This subtle admixture drives evils away, All trouble and cares and their brood, For poison 'gainst poison is death, so they say, While his smile adds a sweet gentle mood. But you must he pure and you must he true, And your life gentle-sweet, e'er you'll lgnow, That the fair little fairy will sell it to you, And is willing to smile on you so. 105 COLLEGE SONGS ALLAH RAH Come, now, youths and maidens, And join in our song, Long live C. of E.

He was also somewhat of a teacher. He was crazy about Creek, Which he talked in his sleepg Oh, my! what a queer kind of creature. There was a young maiden named Ellis, Over whom the boys were all jealous. Her deep alto tones Sank clear to your bones,- She sure was a singer most zealous. There was a young lady called Dickey Who was always inclined to be tricky. So she burst through the door And there right before Her, sat a man and a maid, nice and Hnickey. There was a young runner from Dighton. When he ran he could sure go a skitin'g But pool he would play, And cut classes all day, And from track he was always a pikin'. There was a young athlete named Lyon Who could dribble the ball just a flyin',' But alas! for this boy, With unspeakable joy, A maiden has got him a sighin'. There was a young singer named Nicholas, So funny he always did tickle us. If he sat by a girl He was sure in a whirl, And he could have been bought for a nickel-less There was an athlete named Berger, Raised on prunes and lumps of brown sugar. When he sal over too close, Why! she quickly arose And shouted: You mean old ham-Berger. There was a declaimer named Bradley Who made his audience weep sadly. When he started to talk, Like a yap he did gawk, And speak in a manner most madly. There was a professor named joseph Cot so mad he could shake the boys clothes off. Two pair of glasses he wore, Which he used o'er and o'er, Till he almost wore his whole nose of. 113 v OUR NEW WALK D. C. L. All our sorrowis changed to joy, And for once we cannot scojjfg And for once we all are wearing That said smile that won't come off. And we prance to school like fairies, In our shoes of patent leather, And for once in all these years Welve the edge on summer weather! For the tightw ads have come through And our hearts are sure content, For we have a walk to College, And itis made of real cement! The Prep now rolls to College On a pair of roller skates: And the silly, lovesick Freshman Comes this way with all his dates. And the Senior comes out early, just to walk on our new walk, While the Reulnens driving past it Stop their teams and take a gawk. lWr. Schajfner wheels the lvally On this walk a block or two, And we hope that more dear teachers Will this very same thing do! UNCLE jOE'S HA T Dr. Maxwell at his desk For a moment turned away, When an ornery little Soph, Walked his hat away, It was some time, I ween, Before he missed his lid, And then his temper-whew! If he just had that kid. Oh, he raved and he tore, But his search was in vain Oh, he whistled and called, But they never came. Well, to dodge the cameras That beset his way, The professor rode home, ln a covered shay. 114 CONE ROAMINC H. C. ROFESSOR WILKlE'S happy now, he's sold his pig and loaned his cow, and he has sailed for Greece. I-le's going to see the land of Thebes, home of Homer and Demosthenes, but he'll not rest in peace until he's seen it all. l-le's going to see the Athenean town, see the Acropolis, and stroll around where Pericles once reigned. And then he'll visit the Marathon plain where many Atheneans have been slain. but where the victory gained well was worth the cost. l-le'll see the oracle of Apollo, and there entranced by vapors sweet, will utter wards while yet asleep, and tell you whats to follow. l-le will take a canoe and row to Troy, where Virgil played when yet a boy, and where now his body lies. Then back to Sparta and to Corinth where Apostle Paul once taught, and the ancient city where Lycurgus fought for reforms that are living yet. And before he finally leaves for home, to please the Mrs, he'll stop at Rome, where Caesar fought his fight. And where Cicero, with pomp and power, delivered orations by the hour, for which we suffer now. Then they'll turn their boat toward home, and if they survive the storm, a wiser and a happier man will bc, tomorrow morn.

SPENCER Business Manager THE ALLAH RAH ZR BEN RICE Business Manager THE ALLAH RAH I HIS publication is the first of its particular kind in the history of the institution. ln publishing it, many difficulties, perhaps thought of by no one but the indivduals immediately concerned, had to be met. The most serious obstacle was the prominent lack of funds. This is by no means intended to intimate any tendency toward selfishness on the part of the business managers, for any one acpuainted with the incessant labor required to manage a work of this sort would surely say that they deserved something in return for their service. The success, and only this, which the managers have had in soliciting patronage from our merchants has made it possible for this publication to appear. However, a fund is badly needed to rely upon for miscellaneous cartoons, etc., which the present system of management was not able to provide. This book would be more attractive and more deserving to be called a college annual had such a fund existed this year. We realize that the book falls far short of the ideal. We expect to see many deficiencies and short comingsg to recognize that it might have been a better production: yet we do mantain that, in publishing this, our first annual, we have had difficulties to overcome that should not occur to any class in succeeding years. We have tried to be just to everybody in every particular and trust our efforts were not in vain. We feel that if this publication were a complete failure from a literary view and yet if it was the means of starting the custom of putting out an annual, that our time would have been well spent. The name ALLAH RAH was chosen because no better name could be suggested, coined or discovered. A few persons responded to the call for names, but so few indeed that it was hardly worthy to be called a contest and no prize was awarded as was intended., The word ALLAI-I RAI-1 has become a composite part of College annuals. It has been yelled at every athletic contest and has ever been sung at receptions and parties until it has a sweet and pleasant sound to the student's ear. It is catchy in both sight and sound. Although it has no special significance in connection with the school, other than those mentioned, as is sometimes the custom, yet it is a name that appeals to the students and a name that we hope will last as long as does C. of E.. Had we sought a temporary name we might have found a more appropriate oneg but for a name which is to be handed down through the succeeding years We think no better name could have been found. We hope that THE ALLAI-I RAH will grow and become a publication that may be compared favorably with similar publications of other schools. ln publishing this book we are willing to admit that it is far from the ideal. There are some careless mistakes that might have been avoided and many things that can be greatly improved in the future. The students have contributed willingly and their material has been of good quality. Miss Margaret Todd and Miss Vivian Perkins have assisted as associtate editors, but on account of their timidity their photographs do not appear in the book. ln estimating the quality of the book we ask you not to criticize too harshly. Instead of comparing it'with similar books from schools that have been publishing such books for several years, and which have been made to look nobby and up-to-date as a result of plenty of fundsg we ask you to think of it as the first publicatios, of its kind in our school and to realize that it is always harder to start such a thing than to keep it going after somebody has, in a measure, paved the road. The succeeding classes in C. of E. will doubtless all be larger than the present Junior class, and there is no reason why more money could not be appropriated to this worthy cause. If THE ALLAI-I RAH pleases you, we are gladg if it does not, we are sorryg but we hcpe you will not spread the sad news to your friend or classmate-perhaps he will like it. , 120 GRADUA TE ALUMNI 1894 T.
